🤝 Feminist AF: A Guide to Crushing Girlhood by 🤝 Feminist AF: A Guide to Crushing Girlhood by Brittney Cooper, Chanel Craft Tanner, Susana Morris — 10/05/21 🤝 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Um, where was this book when I was growing up? I know struggles can give you valuable lessons and experiences, but I could have cut down on some of that if I had read Feminist AF back then. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As someone who was always wary when I was younger of calling myself a feminist since white feminism didn’t appeal to me, I loved how these authors showed how inclusive feminism can and should be. And even at 23 (I say like I’m old), this book showed me new ways of thinking, so I really think it’s the gift that keeps giving no matter your age. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The book touches on so many great topics, and I think one of my favorite parts was the advice section for issues that girls are facing, ranging from having to care for their siblings all the time to feeling like their parents are too strict. The authors had such thoughtful responses that never invalidated the feelings of the reader. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The language of the book was fun and modern with cursing and pop culture references galore. It was also always inclusive of different genders, religions, ethnicities, disabilities, etc. Truly a book that anyone could pick up. And I’d definitely recommend this not just for girls. Parents could benefit from this as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overall, Feminist AF made me so thankful for the crew of girlfriends I’ve had since senior year of high school. Girls are great and feminism is key for seeing the world we want. *Thank you to the publisher and @coriolisco for the ARC. All opinions are my own*
🐍 Beasts of Prey by Ayana Gray — 09/28/21🐍 🐍 Beasts of Prey by Ayana Gray — 09/28/21🐍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #PenguinTeenPartner @penguinteen ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Beasts of Prey is out today 🗣🗣 The link to go buy is in my bio 👏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started this book at the beginning of August and was really enjoying it! I sadly haven’t picked it up again because busy but also I’m so excited about this book it’s like my brain won’t let me read it 😂 Hoping to get past that block soon because the characters are so interesting, and I’m in love with the setting. The descriptions are 🤩 But what is this book about you might ask? This book that just got optioned for film by Netflix 🎬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “In this blockbuster fantasy series, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Tomi Adeyemi, fate binds two Black teenagers together as they journey into a magical jungle to hunt down the vicious monster who is threatening their home. But as they begin to uncover ancient deadly secrets, it quickly becomes unclear whether they are the hunters…or the hunted.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In conclusion, Black fantasy is giving what it needs to give this year 😌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Thank you to the publisher for my finished copy*
🧹🎃 The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling — 09/28/21🎃🧹 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Y’all, this was the cutest book ever. Don’t get me wrong, it was plenty hot, but also so sweet and cute. I’m already partial to books set in Georgia, so it being a witchy romance was just the cherry on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rhys and Vivi’s chemistry was just *chef’s kiss* I loved them so much, and Vivi’s cousin Gwen was absolutely hilarious. I want a spin off book from her point of view because I think that would be fabulous. I also just don’t want to leave Graves Glen yet, so it’s a slightly selfish desire too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t have a lot to say about this one because it was just a fun, quick read. If magic sex caves, kissing dares, cursed exes, and uncontrollable magic sounds up your alley, I would highly suggest you add this book to your Fall TBR. It’ll be the perfect October read. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Thank you to the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own*
🌻 Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen by Dr. I 🌻 Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen by Dr. Inger Burnett-Zeigler — 06/29/21🌻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Look who is posting. It is I. Coming to you with an overdue #SRC2021 post considering it is no longer summer. This book got to me a few weeks late and I put it away knowing that I would pull it out to take a picture for it a few days later. That day did not come though. And that is why I’m now in the camp of bookstagrammers who leave stacks of books out so they’re easy to reach and remember. My stack is like 30 strong now 💪🏼😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I saw @locd_booktician_ talking about this book on Twitter, and I knew I was going to have to get to this before the end of the year. It sounds like an absolute must right now, and Dr. Burnett-Zeigler and I share an alma mater 🐻🥳. Thanks @booksparks for this copy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope y’all have been having a good reading month. I’ve almost read exclusively for work so I’m trying to catch up on reading for fun (so many books coming out in the next week 🙃 I will never catch up) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishEnds #Bookstagram #NobodyKnowsTheTroubleIveSeen #IngerBurnettZeigler #AmistadBooks #BookSparks
